First, a black and white shot by Max Hirmer, Munich. It is an image of Arethusa the Fountain nymph of the city of Syracuse. The die was engraved by Kimon of Syracuse. His signature is on the hair band on the forehead. Dolphins circle around the head of Arethusa. It is the first great work of art with a facing head, "en face". At the height of Sicilian art between 415 and 400 BC there were only a few artists who could successfully undertake such a challenging task. The coin you see here was made between 406-405, in Syracuse in Sicily under the rule of its powerful king Dionysius I.
